The first leg ended Bahardar-Azam 2-1. All is set for the decider in this CAF Confederations Cup 1st Preliminary Round fixture!

Bahardar have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Azam form and stats

Azam participated in CAF Confederations Cup the last season, where they reached the 2nd preliminary round and lost against Al-Akhdar.

The overall Ligi kuu Bara stats playing at home this season for Azam are 1-0-0 (wins-draws-losses).

Nothing to worry about in defence for Azam, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 305 minutes in the Ligi kuu Bara.

The supporters hope that Azam will fight back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the CAF Confederations Cup fixture against Bahardar.

Before that game, the 4-0 home victory against Kitayosce.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Tanzania Prisons are coming to town in three days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Azam at home in the league. 4 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
